Reeling in the New Year

It's a new year--time for a fresh start filled with New Year's resolutions. The typical resolutions abound in my home: lose weight, exercise more, spend less, etc. But being the fishing addict that I am, I feel the need to include a fishing-related resolution.

But what would make a good fishing resolution? Making a point to take more frequent fishing trips, maybe. But as awesome as it would be to fulfill this resolution, that's not always practical.

Someone suggested I "branch out" and try some vacation/fishing destinations other than Orange Beach. Trust me, I've done this--and still do on occasion. I don't frequent Alabama's Gulf Coast out of ignorance of what else is around, I go there because I love Gulf fishing and I love the Orange Beach/Gulf Shores area. If the point of a New Year's resolution is to improve your life in some way, why would I make an effort to avoid my favorite vacation spot? Next, please.

Spending more time with family is another popular resolution. And given that my major fishing excursions last year were with friends, I think I'll strive for at least one major fishing trip with family this year (at my beloved Orange Beach, no less).

What's your New Year's resolution, fishing or otherwise?
